Jewelry Organisation

For a while now I have been struggling to find a way to organise all of my costume jewelry. I found that no matter how many different ways I was storing it, there were always those few pieces I never used simply because I cant see them. 

Well I have now finally found my perfect way to store most of my jewelry. This is with a cork board-

I have just arranged all of my jewelry on the cork board and attached them using drawing pins

I arraged each necklace by length and then by colour. So the long and short necklaces are separated, and then sorted by either gold silver and beaded. 

For the earrings I have just taken the back off and stabbed them into the cork. With the backs I have put them in a little pot with a lid on so I dont use them.

This way I an see all my jewelry, and use it all!!!

Does Size Matter??

No I am not talking about the size of a man's  ya know , but, does size matter when it comes to women? This is an age old debate, that has been around for many years. Many people have different views on it, and I myself have my own view on.the matter.

I personally feel that if your happy being you, then be you!! People say that there is a lot of pressure for women to stay slim from the media, skinny models, and mainly MEN!! 

The media makes a big impact on how women view themselves, and I think that this is really sad.  Women look at slim models in magazines, and don't realise they have been airbrushed to within an inch of their lives. I will admit I do the same. These models used in magazines, and advertising campaigns probably look nothing like the picture in real life. The media is deceiving women, and making them look to unrealistic targets as a way of making them self look 'prettier' or 'more attractive to men'. 

MEN!!! A whole other topic in themselves. Just like women, men have there own 'type'. Some like the blonde, others prefer brunette. Some go for looks, others go for personality. Some like slim girls, some like theirs curvy.. Who are we to judge right?  Women want to look there best for men, or believe that if they loose that bit of weight then they will get the man they want. This might be true, but it is not right. The one thing I dont agree with is women changing themselves to get a man. I have seen many friends talk about how if they were that bit slimmer, dyed there hair, wore different clothes, then they would be able to get the man they have been chasing after for the last five months. NO!!! My view is that if a man isn't interested in you for your personality and how you look, then it is their loss. Women should not feel pressured into changing how they are, unless they really want or need to. Not just for a mans sake!! Women should be confident and embrace there bodies, whether they are slim or curvy. Do you really want a man who wants to change you? I know I don't. Whether your a size 10, 12, 14, 16,18, 20, 22, it doesnt matter just as long as your are happy. 

As a curvy girl myself, I am going to leave you with these words

Be Confident, Be Happy, and most of all Be who you really are

MUA Blusher Rewiew

MUA or makeup academy is the fairly new low price makeup line that has been launched in Superdrug stores. With prices ranging anything from £1 to £4, the range is aimed at giving the customer affordable, good quality makeup, and I feel that this is exactly what they are doing. 

Now lets get on to the blusher. For a blusher lover like me, finding a decent product that is of a good quality is something i  absolutely love. I have recentley purchased three of the MUA  blushers at £1 pound each, and i have to tell you I ADORE them. They are highly pigmented and come in around six beautiful colors. They are perfect to give that slight rosy cheek look, or build them up a bit more to create a more dramatic look. 

I will defiantly be purchasing some more of these blushers to add to my collection!!

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder!!!

So a couple of months ago I was talking to a close male friend and decided to tell him about my love of makeup and how I really enjoyed experimenting with it and trying new things. His response to this was why do girls wear makeup, I think they are pretty enough without it?  This was such a weird and different thing to hear from a guy of my age and got me thinking about why I wear makeup and how it makes me feel. 

I started wearing the odd bit of lipgloss or lipstick when i was about eight or nine, but this was never a daily occurrence and only when i was going out somewhere special or wanted to wear some. However just like every other girl I know, I began wearing makeup on  a daily basis in about year eight to year nine at school, which is about twelve to thirteen years old. I know many people think this is a bit young for it (Certainly my dad was one of them) but I think I just started wearing it  because everyone else around me was. To me it felt like I would be considered weird if I didnt wear any makeup. Even though it wasnt as much makeup as i wear now ,only a bit of mascara, blusher and sometimes even eyeliner, in a way I still felt special when I wore it, different to when i didn't wear any. And from there my love of makeup grew and grew.

I think that makeup is such  a love of mine because if i am having a bad skin day or i look tired I can hide it. A simple bit of concealer means I dont have to show people that I am stressed or haven't slept well. I just look my normal self. And to me this is a positive thing. 

Makeup is also a confidence booster. People may consider this a weird thing to say, but I believe it is true, Days I do venture out the house without makeup I seem to bow my head down and just feel like I look aweful. However days I have taken the time to apply makeup and make myself more presentable I feel much more confident and alive. I feel like People look at me and actually see what I want them to see, and not a girl who hasnt made an effort that morning. 

So in answer to his question all I have to say  is that I wear makeup because I want too, and not because anyone else makes me. It is the thing that makes me happy and makes my day more enjoyable and run smoothly. Men may like women who wear makeup or women who don't wear makeup, this is up to them. However I am not doing this to please a man, I am doing it to make me happy
